What is the difference between Freddie Mac and my lender?
Your lender originates the loan and may sell it to Freddie Mac. Freddie Mac does not work directly with borrowers but supports the mortgage system by purchasing loans. Your servicer manages payments and customer support throughout the life of the loan.
